Something of an eruption Of the
earth occurred on the Stuart land in
Audubon county few days since,
that is rather queer and difficult to
explain. 1t seems that large piece
Of sod about ten by fifteen feet square
and eighteen inches thick was some
how lifted out of the earth and
thrown entirely from its bed and
laid to one side Of it, while another
piece about the same size, near it,
was also lifted up, beng allowed to
drop back almost in the same place,
though enough to one side as to
leave it in a canting position, No
one in the vicinity appears to have
noticed anything like Earring of
the earth, or any unusual disturb
ance of any kind, and the phenome-
non is quite perplexing subject in
that community. The most plausi-
BILE theory advanced seems to be
that there was an explosion OF gas
beneath to cause the upheaval. If
this is the correct theory, boring for
gas might be made profitable en-
terprise for the people in that local

BORROWING OPERA PEOPLE.


PARIS, May 2S.-Some very distressing
scenes occurred at the roll-call of the actors
and attaches of the Opera Comique Friday,
and tue occasion must long be remembered
by those present. As the name of each miss
ing one was called fresh tears flowed from the
syes of the survivors and the room was filled
with the sound of stuffed sobs, and the lamen-
tations of those who could not so well restrain
tbelI feelings As the name of M. Tasduin
vas called he stepped forward and answering
to his name was greeted with lavish display of
gratitude and affection upon all sides, and was
presented with the Cross Of the Legion of
Honor in recognition OF his heroic conduct in
assisting To save the lives of many of his com
panluu uieiubors Of the Opera Cvnlique com
pany.
A pamphlet was put in Giro ulation and sold
in the streets Friday evening the moral of
which is that if there had been in late years
series of ministers of public instruction and
fine arts possessing high sense of public
duty as Gen. Boulanger has displayed as min
lister of war, the fire which destroyed the
Opera Conique could not have occurred The
pamphlet Was eagerly purchased and its

a shop, whence he emerged after tile crowd
